me when someone cites the deep magic to me even though I was there when it was written: holy shit, for real? I don't remember that part at all

Article is paywalled and I can't be arsed to jump it, but from the headline I'm guessing that employers have chosen their scapegoat to blame for the fact this tech isn't delivering and can't deliver

I’ve never used ChatGPT, or any other chatbot like that, so seeing screenshots of people’s convos every now and then always takes me out. People subject themselves to this willingly??? It’s like a little corporate imp made of lies, buzzwords and boogers.

The two truths: 1) There is nothing wrong with porn, let people safely make it, let people safely enjoy it. 2) If you let people define porn as bad, authoritarians will ALWAYS expand the definition until their hands are around your neck.

Fifty research lab shuttered. Countless decades-old experiments and scientific records lost. Thousands of forest scientists and experts essentially forced into retirement. The destruction of science on a massive scale.

"Now tell him the English version was fan fiction & the translator didn't even know Japanese."

To capture this zeitgeist, if you want the good feelings to go on and dream of another, better world, I cannot recommend enough the comic SPACE BROTHERS. Brilliant. Scientifically plausible. Simply one of the best series I have ever read.

FUN FACT: You personally interact with dozens, even hundreds of artists and storytellers on this website every day who dedicate 0% of their resources to directly harming trans people. Many of them have comics, or albums, or podcasts, or even fantasy novels available for your guilt-free enjoyment!

This is the thing that always gets me. If you’re going to do something wildly unpopular that you know everyone will hate you for just shut up about it? Literally no one is forcing you to publicly admit this shit? Just go about your morally questionable shit in quiet shame like a normal person.

You would get so many more amazing books if you had Universal Basic Income. Not even the most dream-scenario AI could compete with the creativity of a world of authors no longer afraid of affording rent.

I guess it's time to finally leave #DeviantArt. To make this announcement at the exact time #Sora finally f**king croaks, proving AI-generated video is yet another billionaire tech CEO brain fart just proves DA management's disgusting tone-deafness. And they're using #Grok as one of their models! 😡

cis people are ruled by their disgust response

You need to remember the damage of bans like this isn't just the overt bigotry of the act itself, but a sustained effort to create a tapestry of lies/laws/myths all working together to paint the image that a trans person excelling or even just existing healthily in society is somehow unnatural.

The annual observance marks how far into the new year women must work to make what men earned in the previous year. This year, it's March 26, a day later than it was in 2025. n.pr/4t9rLqU

The US government collected over $1 billion in immigration fees then refused to process the applications. No denials. No refunds. Just silence. This is the largest fee fraud in the history of the American immigration system. Here's what's happening. 🧵

“I don’t have to separate the art from the artist because Harry Potter is bad” is a shitty take because it implies that you’d be okay with supporting someone who delights in being responsible for stripping away people’s healthcare if only their writing was good.

Giving it up is easy because THE AUTHOR IS EVIL AND TRYING TO KILL PEOPLE. It’s easy even for people for whom it was once an important part of their lives because THE AUTHOR IS EVIL AND TRYING TO KILL PEOPLE. That’s the answer.

Look, I moderated a Harry Potter Livejournal community. I wrote a lot of Harry Potter fanfic (including a story about a major character being trans). I met a lot of my best friends because of Harry Potter. If I can give that shit up because the author is ACTIVELY WORKING TO KILL PEOPLE, so can you.

there’s something about a corpo that declared bankruptcy over a decade ago & retreated to germany while destroying the lives of living artists by stealing their IP indefinitely rolling up years later like it never happened to capitalize on the popularity of BL to exploit another niche group

President who thinks every problem can be solved by bullying harder somehow has caused significantly more, much worse problems in every possible facet of life.

This post pisses me off because the apple is clearly visible to the side of the second picture. He's content because he hasn't lost anything. He feigns poverty to manufacture sympathy. Detestable

Translation is a form of creation. The translator has to make decisions about preserving style over direct content, about cultural equivalence, about how to preserve a sense of pun or sentence structure from one language to the next. People who assume an LLM can do it are not understanding the task.

Translation is such a weird, fussy art. I've been sitting here trying to decide whether "That's not it" or "It's not that" works better for the story/character voice, even though I know absolutely no one will pay any attention to such a minor, throw-away line anyway.

So, um... this is bad. Really bad. I looked at the letters that were translated by the AI, and the very first one I found was almost entirely hallucination. Thread:

Perfect

i feel like everyone should understand this by now but apparently some people don't, so: literally none of those "AI detector" things work. for writing, for code, for images-- none of em. they do not work. they're as useful as flipping a coin. don't use them and for fuck's sake, DON'T pay for them

Oh NOW the elite want people to work from home again

these companies want translators to translate AND letter for half the pay. this isn’t a new concept. they’re wringing more money out of the lowest-paid workers in the industry. slop shops already exist in localization, and they didn’t waste millions of dollars on AI engineers

If you’ve ever complained about shipping prices, please take that energy and direct it to your elected representatives. Tell them to fight for more funding of the postal service! If we lose the USPS it’s absolutely inevitable that shipping rates will increase with all carriers. 😤

You absolutely cannot separate the artist and the art without contributing to the persecution of trans people. Boycott everything Potter.

the thing about "separating the art from the artist" is that it comes from academic circles where they were trying to separate an artist's views from an interpretation of their work as an intellectual exercise, not as a way to give people moral carte blanche to support shitty people

nothing gives joy like seeing a bunch of notifs and it's just a single person demolishing through your posts. i will never be caught complaining about this bc how can you be upset when you're the reason someone is having a great time. you've become a metaphorical gold mine to someone in this moment
